We might not be showgirls, but we know misinformation all too well.
Here are the tools you’ll need that never go out of style and be fearless in your myth busting (ScienceUpFirst’s version)
- Empathy & listening skills: A great myth buster listens like they’re hearing it for the first time, opens respectful dialogue, and approaches others with empathy, even when you’re never ever getting back together on opinions.
- The pause button: One of the easiest ways to stop misinformation? Pause before you post and ask: “Is this true?” Because sometimes the best move is to shake it off.
- Red flag radar: Learn to spot misinformers’ tricks before they begin again. You’ll see the red flags flying around.
- Source-check savvy: Read past the headlines, check credibility, and consult multiple trusted sources, because you want to be sure you are out of the woods, so check it once, then check it twice.
See a harmful claim? If you can, speak now (politely) before it spreads.
Sound like you? Then you belong with me (and by me, we mean us). 🧡❤️🔥🧡❤️🔥
